‘Burn the Floor’ returns once again to the London stage. Showcasing
the best in partnered dance ‘Burn the Floor’ features hot choreography, even
hotter dancers and legs that move so fast it is a wonder that the floor doesn’t
set alight!
To open the show the cast descend through the crowd dancing
their way to the stage. What a way to open! ‘Burn the Floor’ takes a while to
hit its stride but once it does there is no stopping it. Whether jiving,
waltzing or shaking it samba style the audience is taken on a rollercoaster
ride moving between slow styles and fast, up tempo routines. Featuring some
lifts and tricks that leave the audience wowed, ‘Burn the Floor’ is an
energetic and modern celebration of latin and ballroom dance.
The cast, lead by Strictly favourites Robin Windsor and
Kristina Rihanoff, are the crème de la crème. There are no leads in this
production, every member of the cast is exceptionally talented. A special
mention should be given to Giselle Peacock, a total firecracker with the
fastest feet on the stage.
After a slow start the show comes to life once the whole
cast take to the stage and the lights start a dance of their own. When the
audience cheer and clap there is a real party atmosphere.
A rendition of ‘Proud Mary’ gained a standing ovation, a routine
featuring a blindfold adds some spice and the moments of contemporary dance
were a beautiful break in the frenetic performance.
‘Burn the Floor’ will be a delight for lovers of Strictly or
latin and ballroom dance. Featuring no story it is a showcase of the plethora
of dance style performed to the highest standard. The dancing is highlighted
with popular songs, and some unexpected choices, accompanied by Peter Blewden
and the brilliant Vonzell Solomon, who sparkles with her beautiful dresses and
powerhouse voice.
‘Burn the Floor’ is
playing at the Shaftburys Theatre until 1st September 2013. Book
